Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing fixtures, and in particular to a testing fixture for magnetic encoders. Background Technology
[0002] As a high-precision position detection device, magnetic encoders play a crucial role in fields such as servo motors and industrial automation. Their measurement accuracy and operational stability directly affect the performance of the entire equipment system. Therefore, accurate and stable testing of magnetic encoders is a key step in ensuring their quality and reliability.
[0003] In the testing of magnetic encoders, the testing fixture is an indispensable core piece of equipment. It needs to provide a stable installation environment and precise transmission fit for the encoder to ensure the accuracy of the test results. However, existing magnetic encoder testing fixtures on the market have revealed many problems during long-term use. On the one hand, their long-term operational stability is insufficient, making it difficult to maintain stable accuracy during continuous testing, resulting in large fluctuations in test data and affecting the accurate judgment of encoder performance. On the other hand, the fixture's complex structure not only increases manufacturing and maintenance costs but also makes it difficult to quickly diagnose problems when malfunctions occur during testing, delaying the testing progress. Furthermore, the complex structure also leads to difficulties in disassembly and assembly, causing significant inconvenience for encoder installation, replacement, and fixture maintenance.
[0004] In addition, some test fixtures have design flaws that require a large number of parts for the core mechanism. This not only makes it difficult to control costs, but also causes the fixtures themselves to have large design errors due to the accumulation of fit errors between parts. This further affects the accuracy of the test and makes it impossible to meet the testing requirements of high-precision magnetic encoders. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a testing fixture for magnetic encoders, which solves the technical problem that some existing testing fixtures have design flaws, requiring a large number of parts for the core mechanism. This not only makes it difficult to control costs, but also results in large design errors in the fixture itself due to the accumulation of fit errors between parts, further affecting the accuracy of the test and failing to meet the testing requirements of high-precision magnetic encoders.
[0006] The technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application are as follows.
[0007] A magnetic encoder testing fixture includes a main shaft, a fixture fixing housing, a rotor support, and a stator support. The main shaft has a mounting hole at its bottom end and is connected to a servo motor via the mounting hole. The fixture fixing housing has a mounting groove at its bottom end and is connected to a photoelectric sensor via the mounting groove. The upper surface of the fixture fixing housing is connected to the stator support. The upper surface of the main shaft is connected to the rotor support.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0009] A further technical solution is as follows: the rotor support is detachably connected to the main shaft; the stator support is detachably connected to the tooling fixing housing.
[0010] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0011] Thanks to its modular design, comprising a main shaft, fixture housing, rotor support, and stator support, the fixture utilizes high-strength, high-stability materials to manufacture key components. The precise and reliable connections between components minimize errors caused by deformation or loosening. Stable connection to the photoelectric sensor provides a stable benchmark for testing, enabling the fixture to maintain high accuracy during prolonged continuous operation with minimal data fluctuations, ensuring accurate performance assessment of the magnetic encoder. The fixture comprises only core components such as the main shaft, fixture housing, rotor support, and stator support, resulting in a simple and compact structure. When problems arise during testing, each component can be quickly inspected and troubleshooted, significantly reducing troubleshooting time and improving testing efficiency. The rotor support is detachably connected to the main shaft, and the stator support is detachably connected to the fixture housing, using simple bolts and other fasteners for fixing and disassembly. This makes operation more convenient when changing to different models of magnetic encoders or performing maintenance on the fixture, reducing the workload of operators. The refined use of parts in the core mechanism reduces procurement and manufacturing costs, contributing to overall production cost control. Meanwhile, the streamlined structure reduces the number of mating links between parts, lowers error accumulation, and results in smaller tooling design errors, which can meet the testing requirements of high-precision magnetic encoders and ensure the accuracy of the test.

The mounting groove 21 at its bottom matches the shape of the photoelectric sensor. The inner side of the mounting groove 21 has a positioning pin hole. After precise positioning with the photoelectric sensor using the positioning pin, it is then tightened with screws, ensuring the reliability and positional accuracy of the connection between the fixture mounting housing 2 and the photoelectric sensor. The upper surface of the fixture mounting housing 2 is machined with a flat mounting surface and has multiple threaded connection holes. The stator support 4 is detachably connected to the fixture mounting housing 2 through these threaded holes, facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the stator support 4.
